Pros

Met some great people and came away with some true friends.

Cons

Micromanagement by the CEO CEO banned praying for Muslims which resulted in people praying outside in the rain! You get told of for talking, eating or wearing a coat/fleece. Bobby Kalar is a bully! Just out to line his own pocket

Thank you for your review. We’re glad to hear that you have made some lasting friends at Yu Energy and we agree with you that there are some brilliant people here. We also wanted to respond to some of the other points in your review. As an agile, fast-paced and fast growing business, things are constantly changing. We’ve nearly trebled our revenue over the past year and now employ a team of over 120 people. In the last 12 months we have created over 60 new jobs. To achieve all of this requires a great input from a wide range of people across all areas of the business, supported by a hands-on approach from the whole senior leadership team. We have a diverse workforce from a wide range of faiths and we take pride in being an equal opportunities employer. As part of this we have a wellbeing area which is regularly used by people of many different faiths. As many companies do, we have a business dress code which we expect our colleagues to abide by and our modern air-conditioned offices provide a comfortable working environment for all. We continue to invest in our employee benefits such as company pension contributions and annual salary reviews to ensure that we offer a competitive reward package for our colleagues. The views of our colleagues are important to us and we run regular employee engagement surveys. Our most recent survey indicated that over 80% of our colleagues are happy at Yu Energy.

Pros

Modern offices Some lovely people on the teams that want to do a good job Closes for Christmas in some areas

Cons

No communication on strategy No want to do things correctly - industry best practices/regulation/licence conditions Poor salaries in comparison to industry benchmarking Poor culture Poor customer service ethos, get as much money out of the customer as possible CEO unapproachable and unprofessional as well as inappropriate when discussing customer accounts/bad debt Cameras and recording all over the building - no professional privacy Systems that monitor and record every keystroke and screen views Cliques and inexperienced management - with promotions that are inappropriate and unfair.

Pros

There are none, it’s a mess.

Cons

Constant micro management. No knowledge of the industry they operate in or how to adapt in a changing market. Little to no reward for achieving targets. False reviews mislead most people into giving these a go - trust me don’t make that mistake. Threatening staff constantly with their job Discrimination against those with mental health problems. Your commission will be decimated shortly before being payed out. Beware this is a monolithic problem. Won’t say any more just don’t .....please

It's unfortunate that you do not believe there are any pros about Yu Energy, our colleagues come into work and are dedicated, working with us to make things better for all. All sales roles are understandably pressurised as there are KPI's and targets to meet. These roles are not for the faint hearted. Our best sales colleagues love it as they have the ability to earn significant commissions. It feels like you didn't quite live up to your expectations of being a great sales agent, although the necessary support was there for you. One thing as a business we make very clear is that we do not mother you and you have to take personal responsibility for your behaviour and performance. We wish you the best in your sales career. Kind regards, Yu Group HR Team
